Without substantial financial assistance, an award-winning Carson City microbrewery is scheduled to close by the end of March.

The High Sierra Brewing Co. announced Wednesday that, barring a last minute partnership or investment, it would be closing its doors on March 29. Owner Jim Phalan said that the brewery and restaurant, which won a gold medal at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival and has distribution contracts with Costco, Trader Joe's and more, has been unable to renegotiate with its landlord and faces going out of business.
